Netscape Releases Netscape 6.2

Tuesday October 30th, 2001

Netscape today released version 6.2 of it's browser based on Mozilla. Downloads for a variety of platforms and languages are available (we've linked to the english builds, there are other languages of Netscape 6 available, and we expect that, as in the past, more tranlations of 6.2 will show up later), and you can also check out the release notes. This release comes off the Mozilla 0.9.4 branch, and is the third major release from Netscape using Mozilla.

I haven't used the GIMP, so I speak from hearsay, but I know people who have who say it doesn't match up to Photoshop.

From watching Linux people talk about their apps, or their GUIs, etc, I get the distinct impression that they must live in a weird sort of ivory tower where commercial software doesn't exist or it's all broken or something, because no Windows or Mac user would put up with the kind of basic configuration struggles and rampant lack of polish and/or functionality that Linux people apparently take for granted.
